The title battles had already been sorted in favour of Jack Brabham and Brabham-Repco at the previous two meetings, although qualifying/practice would leave the newly recrowned racer down in fourth. Pole instead went to John Surtees in the Cooper-Maserati, with Jim Clark sharing the front row. When the flag dropped it was third placed Richie Ginther in the Honda that was seen streaking into the lead of the race, just as he had done so in 1965. Jochen Rindt was another strong started to get into second with Brabham third, while Denny Hulme also managed to get ahead of the front row starters.

abstract
  • The title battles had already been sorted in favour of Jack Brabham and Brabham-Repco at the previous two meetings, although qualifying/practice would leave the newly recrowned racer down in fourth. Pole instead went to John Surtees in the Cooper-Maserati, with Jim Clark sharing the front row. When the flag dropped it was third placed Richie Ginther in the Honda that was seen streaking into the lead of the race, just as he had done so in 1965. Jochen Rindt was another strong started to get into second with Brabham third, while Denny Hulme also managed to get ahead of the front row starters. By the time the field reappeared on the second lap it was Brabham leading while Ginther began a gradual tumble, although he would stay ahead of Clark whose gearbox imploded early on. Surtees soon moved up past teammate Rindt and into second to start harassing Brabham for the lead. The Brit would soon force his way past Brabham and slowly inch away from the pack, just as Rindt's race expired with suspension failure. The failure put Pedro Rodríguez onto the podium, although he would be robbed of a home podium by a transmission failure a few laps from the end. Surtees, meanwhile, was able to eek out a twelve second lead when the chequered flag fluttered to end the 1966 season, with Brabham the only other man on the lead lap. Hulme and Ginther scrapped for third up until the penultimate lap, when the New Zealander elbowed his way onto the podium and successfully defended to the flag.
